[Lift] Serious widget action
It is time for me to add some serious widgets to my lift app. So far, I am most enamored by ExtJS. Another alternative could possibly be ZK. Does anybody have any experience with these frameworks? Can you comment on why integrating them with Scala/Lift would be a bad idea (or not work)? I searched for some historical posts on ExtJS and discovered some threads about it's license and how it impacts inclusion in the lift framework. Would a commercial license prohibit it from being a lift- widget submodule candidate?

[Lift] IdPK Model boiler-plate
My model classes mix-in IdPK and have the following boiler-plate for
equals and hashCode:
class Team extends LongKeyedMapper[Team] with IdPK {
override def equals (other : Any) = other match {
case t : Team if t.id.is == this.id.is = true
case _ = false
}
override def hashCode = this.id.is.hashCode
}
I'm pretty sure I acquired this boiler-plate for equals and hashCode
from this Google Group.
Is this implementation for equals and hashCode a good idea? If so,
shouldn't it be part of the IdPK trait?

[Lift] Re: IdPK Model boiler-plate
What's wrong with KeyedMapper's implementation?
Well, that was exactly why I was asking the question, Is this
implementation for equals and hashCode a good idea? I had gotten
this at some point, been using it, and am only questioning it now
because if it truly is a good idea, I think it should be part of the
framework...
The hashCode implementation for KeyedMapper looks essentially the
same:
this.id.is.hashCode
vs.
primaryKeyField.is.hashCode
However, the equals implementation for KeyedMapper is a little
different:
override def equals (other : Any) = other match {
case t : Team if t.id.is == this.id.is = true
case _ = false
}
vs.
override def equals (other : Any) : Boolean = {
other match {
case null = false
case km: KeyedMapper[Nothing,Nothing] if
this.getClass.isAssignableFrom(km.getClass) ||
km.getClass.isAssignableFrom(this.getClass) =
this.primaryKeyField == km.primaryKeyField
case k = super.equals(k)
}
}
There are some subtle differences. I have never used inheritance with
Mapper to make a complex class hierarchy, so I'm not 100% sure of the
ramifications (or if it is even possible).
Personally, I would imagine that two mapper objects are equal using a
primary key comparison only as long as they are read-only singletons.
If I had instance #1 loaded into val A and again into var B, then
modified some elements of B, I would no longer expect A to equal B --
but with the above implementation, they remain equal as long as the
primary key field is not altered.
In JPA/Hibernate land, I actually have a different approach for equals
and hashCode: each field is compared with the exception of the @Id
and @Version columns because they can change upon persistence, and so
are not part of the equality. I leverage Apache Commons-Lang
builders:
@Override
public boolean equals (final Object obj) {
return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, obj,
EXCLUDE_FROM_EQUALS_AND_HASH_CODE);
}
@Override
public int hashCode () {
return HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode(this,
EXCLUDE_FROM_EQUALS_AND_HASH_CODE);
}
/**
* Exclude fields from equals, hashCode, and compareTo that may
change upon
* persistence.
*
* @see a href=http://www.hibernate.org/109.html;Best
strategies for
* implementation of equals() and hashcode() in your persistent
classes./a
*/
private static final String [] EXCLUDE_FROM_EQUALS_AND_HASH_CODE =
{id, version};
So, if Hibernate suggests that you should NOT just compare the primary
key field, why should Lift-Mapper be doing that?

[Lift] Re: superficial first impressions from a rails junkie
I'm overall very impressed by the community response so far to this post. My first reaction to this was, please don't dismiss it (like the first response seemed to). Marius was quick to agree that the web site needs some work. I have to agree here. I am surprised by a few things: 1. So much activity, yet liftweb.net homepage is highly static. There is no mention, for example, of the 2.0-M3 release, progress, new features, etc. A newbie really needs to dig into the Google Group and source code, but the home page should be pulling you in. I have repeatedly complained that I can't seem to get aggregated scaladocs for 2.0-M3 as easy as 1.0. Why is the first impression for a newbie so stale? 2. The home page doesn't display correctly on IE. It needs to (and I'm sure this is an easy fix). It may give an impression that Lift itself is so cutting edge that you need Firefox or Chrome or something -- but that is NOT the case. IE is still (unfortunately) dominant among businesses, and still has a decent market share, so it should not be ignored. 3. There are some real live solutions using Lift (like foursquare.com), and the home page should point that out! It helps add credibility. (The Novell Pulse demo was truly inspiring.) A little while ago, someone was asking about a Lift project idea, and I had recommended a Lift based CMS. My thinking was that the lift site itself could use it. I love it when people eat their own dog food -- it helps me buy into the solution. On Mar 6, 9:02 am, jonathan mawson umpti...@gmail.com wrote: - How much of the difficulty that people seem to have in using Lift is intrinsic to the framework and how much to poor docs? What are the ***pay-offs*** for those design decisions that have made Lift harder to use? (Even when this simply means less Rails-like.) Communicating these would go a long way to reducing newbie frustration. Is Lift even designed to have as wide an appeal as RoR or Grails? If not, be frank about it and communicate where its strengths lie. Documentation is a challenge: - Scala docs have been getting better, but overall they are still pretty sparse. I find myself requiring to read the scala code as the docs are insufficient. Certainly, this can be frustrating to a newbie (though I do agree that it helps me learn Scala and Lift better). - The Wiki could be improved, and extended. Is GitHub really the best platform? (I am a Confluence fan.) Much like how GitHub was ditched for Issue Tracking, I think some thought needs to be done about the wiki platform. - White Papers don't really exist that explain the benefits of Lift's features... Topics that security, dependency injection, optimizations, configuration management, etc. should be covered. (Wiki might be a good storage and content management platform for this information.) A comparative analysis would be great: solution in Groovy/Grails vs. Scala/Lift vs. Ruby/Rails vs. Java/GWT vs. Java/Flex vs. ColdFusion. Many struggle with choosing a web framework, and the Lift site should be explaining why they should choose Lift. - The Lift Book is already out of date, and it needs to grow. For some reason, it is sticking to 1.0 compliance, but so much has changed. This was my first serious introduction to the framework, and this needs to be maintained in line with all the cool new features that are being added. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade my project from 2.0-M2 to 2.0-M3 and take advantage of the new features. In the 2.0-M3 announcement, it really only had release notes -- there wasn't an explanation of how to really use these new features. Where is this information? It should be going to the Lift Book, but instead I had to triangulate the information from searching the Google Group, reviewing Source Code, and reviewing the Issue Tracker. This definitely could be easier. At the end of the day, Lift is a solid framework. The attention to stability is very impressive. The attitude and activity from the community is first rate. I still question some aspects (like View First, or when I would ever use a view), but I am still learning and I think that Lift is still growing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

I thought SLF4J was enabled already, so I don't know why I need to explicitly enable it. Secondly, if you read the Wiki: http://wiki.github.com/dpp/liftweb/logging-in-lift It says to exclude org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12 from lift-mapper. But I noticed that it is lift-webkit that has the dependency (transitively from net.liftweb:lift-util) that needs to be excluded.

[Lift] Response Optimizations too aggressive
After fielding calls as to why my UI doesn't look correctly on IE, I discovered that Lift is doing an optimization in production mode that is effectively breaking my application's compatibility for IE... To get around IE6 deficiencies, I am leveraging JQuery. For example, if I have a CSS style that uses attribute selectors, like input[type=checkbox], IE6 ignores them, but I can get JQuery to apply the style. Since this JavaScript applies to IE only, I wrap them in comments like: !--[if IE 6] script type=text/javascript id=ie6fix ... / script ![endif]-- Firefox and Chrome will ignore these, which is perfect, and only IE will pay attention (and suffer the overhead). All was working fine in dev, then came time to roll out to production and I naturally specified -Drun.mode=production. Surprisingly, production mode has an optimization that strips HTML comments from the output. Generally, I think this is a great idea -- EXCEPT if we have IE specific comments responding to an IE browser. Is there a way to modify the optimization so that IE specific comments are retained? Alternatively, can I simply disable this optimization feature so that my IE users are OK? How can I find out more about these production mode optimizations? Is there a list? I have drilled into Props.scala and I read it very carefully. I think of my environments as Dev/QA/Prod, but I think this translates best to Test/Staging/Production in Lift-speak. I am expecting that production mode optimizations are applied to both Staging (aka QA) as well as Production -- because I need to validate actual production behavior.

It leaves me with much to be desired since the precise issue is unclear and limited to Postgres. (It sounds like the author might have experienced the issue with the IN (select ...) construct which isn't even the same thing.) I like James Iry's idea that the final SQL would be dependent on the database dialect (Driver, I guess). I know that different vendors have different limits for the number of elements in an IN clause. If we had a limit of 250, for example, but had 300 items, you could transform it into: where (a in (1, 2, 3, ..., 250) or a in (251, 252, ..., 300)) That would be clever (and probably necessary if the database vendor has a relatively small number for the maximum number of IN clause elements). I'm pretty sure that Oracle has a limit of 1,000 elements for an IN clause, and I can't imagine requiring more than that. For the average case ( 30 items), the IN clause is going to be easier to read, faster to parse, and likely faster to execute on almost all database vendors -- that is why I like it.

[Lift] ByList using OR instead of IN?
From reading Exploring Lift (Section 6.1, page 81), it says that ByList corresponds to the “field IN (x,y,z)” syntax in SQL. Well, that was what I needed, so I took it for a test drive. However, instead of seeing SQL like: where some.id in (4, 9, 20) I am seeing SQL like: where some.id = 4 or some.id = 9 or some.id = 20. I double checked the latest code: http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/blob/master/framework/lift-persistence/lift-mapper/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/mapper/MetaMapper.scala and it looks like there isn't a magical workaround to get IN working as I expected.

[Lift] Re: Forcing Authentication not working
Thank you for responding, and I can use your advice to make my code a
little less verbose and concise. Alas, it did not address my core
issue of forcing authentication. The behavior is exactly the same.
If I go to a protected resource with a Role requirement, then
authentication and an authorization check is performed. But
otherwise, nothing, and I need the authentication done because that is
what defines the roles, and I have some pages that are accessible, but
adjust due to a user's restrictions (fine-grained access control)...
Perhaps it would help to elaborate on my solution...
My authentication mechanism is really done by a special SSO Filter.
The Filter populates the HTTPRequest's remote user, so then Lift can
simply ask that for who was authenticated. While the Servlet layer
has a valid username, I still need to build some kind of bridge to
Lift land. As a result, I have a specialized HttpAuthentication like
so:
case class FilterAuthentication (authorizationFunc:
PartialFunction[(String), Boolean]) extends HttpAuthentication {
/** Extract the remote username from the HTTP Request. */
private def authenticatedUsername (r : Req) =
r.request.asInstanceOf[HTTPRequestServlet].req.getRemoteUser().toLowerCase()
/** Extract the Authenticated User and call the Authorization
function. */
def verified_? = {
case req = {
authenticatedUsername(req) match {
case u if null != u u.length 1
authorizationFunc.isDefinedAt(u) = authorizationFunc(u)
case _ = false
}
}
}
}
Then, I need to hook this into LiftRules like so:
LiftRules.authentication = FilterAuthentication( {
case username = Log.info(Authenticating: + username)
val isAuthorized = Auth.isAuthorized(username)
if (isAuthorized) {
val authorizedRoles = Auth.authorizedRoles(username)
userRoles(authorizedRoles)
}
isAuthorized
})
Note that the Filter will acquire an authenticated user -- but that
user may still not have access to this particular application. As a
result, I need to do the isAuthorized check that basically does a
lookup to see if jdoe, for example, is authorized to access my
application. If he is, then roles are populated and true is returned;
if not, false is returned.
I need to restrict some pages, so I do something like:
LiftRules.httpAuthProtectedResource.prepend {
case Req(restricted :: _,_,_) = restrictedRole
case _ = Empty
}
If the user goes to /restricted/, then I see the authentication and
authorization kick in. But I am also interested in authentication
(i.e. validating that the user is allowed to access the application)
even if index.xhtml is hit. I thought I am telling Lift to do that
with the case _ = Empty.
I am not using the siteMap to generate my menus because I need to
control the styling. As a result, when I create my menus, I do
something like:
lift:Auth.secure role=restricteda href=/restricted/Restricted
Access/a/lift:Auth.secure
In my case, I actually have the privilege, so I should see this link,
however because Lift isn't calling the FilterAuthentication logic, it
doesn't know my roles and hence hides the link.
If I go to /restricted/, then all is well...
In summary, according to the documentation, returning an Empty should
force an authentication, but that doesn't seem to be working. Am I
doing something wrong? Or is the documentation incorrect? Or is
there a bug in 2.0-M1?
(This is a big show stopper for me, so I certainly appreciate the
assistance.)

[Lift] Re: Forcing Authentication not working
OK, I think I found the source code that is the culprit. From
LiftServlet.scala:
http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/blob/master/framework/lift-base/lift-webkit/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/http/LiftServlet.scala
private def authPassed_?(req: Req): Boolean = {
val checkRoles: (Role, List[Role]) = Boolean = {
case (resRole, roles) = (false /: roles)((l, r) = l ||
resRole.isChildOf(r.name))
}
val role = NamedPF.applyBox(req,
LiftRules.httpAuthProtectedResource.toList)
role.map(_ match {
case Full(r) =
LiftRules.authentication.verified_?(req) match {
case true = checkRoles(r, userRoles.get)
case _ = false
}
case _ = true
}) openOr true
}
This logic seems to be inconsistent with the documentation found in
LiftRules.scala:
http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/blob/master/framework/lift-base/lift-webkit/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/http/LiftRules.scala
/**
* Defines the resources that are protected by authentication and
authorization. If this function
* is notdefined for the input data, the resource is considered
unprotected ergo no authentication
* is performed. If this function is defined and returns a Full can,
it means that this resource
* is protected by authentication,and authenticated subjed must be
assigned to the role returned by
* this function or to a role that is child-of this role. If this
function returns Empty it means that
* this resource is protected by authentication but no authorization
is performed meaning that roles are
* not verified.
*/
val httpAuthProtectedResource =
RulesSeq[HttpAuthProtectedResourcePF]
Shouldn't there be something like:
case Empty =
LiftRules.authentication.verified_?(req)
?

[Lift] Forcing Authentication not working
According to:
http://scala-tools.org/mvnsites-snapshots/liftweb/lift-base/lift-webkit/scaladocs/net/liftweb/http/LiftRules$object.html#httpAuthProtectedResource
It says that if I have a rule that responds with Empty, it means that
authentications is performed, but not an authorization check. This is
what I need. So, I have a rule something like:
LiftRules.httpAuthProtectedResource.append {
case req : Req = req.path match {
case ParsePath(restricted :: _, _, _, _) = restrictedRole
case _ = Empty
}
}
Alas, I can clearly see that my authentication is NOT being performed
for just any page.
Am I missing something, or is the documentation incorrect, or is this
a bug? Note that I am using 2.0-M1.

[Lift] Re: Mapper CamelCase vs snake_case
Not sure what your use case is here: 1) A single mapped object can exist in different dbs? 2) Different mapped objects can exists in different dbs? With the current design, 1) is not possible. Once the name of a field has been determined, it'll stay fixed. 2) Might be doable if we add the connection identifier as parameter to the function that decides the names. In general, I don't think we should be too smart about this. There will probably always be scenarios that can fail, in which case you can manually override the name (except in 1) above :-) My use case is really #2. Imagine a Lift App that connects to a Sybase database and an Oracle database. I have Mapped objects for each. The Sybase objects should use camelCase, while the Oracle objects should use snake_case. My other goal is to be agnostic at the code level. I want to be able to create an application that could be deployed on several database platforms. (Like I can theoretically do with Hibernate.) So, I want to be able to define a Mapped class as straight forward as possible (i.e. declare my primary key id (idPK trait), and the various fields, etc.) I don't want to make choices in the Mapped object that depend on the underlying database platform. Overriding the column name is one of those choices; by overriding the dbColumName = 'widgetsHit', I am making the camelCase/snake_case decision. I'm not sure that I foresee use case #1... (I'm not sure that is even something that I could do in Hibernate. I certainly have never needed that functionality.) FWIW... JPA is not without its issues. I don't like the fact that the @Column annotation has a columnDefinition that is one value. Certainly, you want to use it sparingly, but once you define it, you have made your code database platform specific. You can't say at this level, for Sybase or SQL Server, the type is 'bit' and for Oracle, the type is 'number(1)'. I know there are ways around this -- you need to come up with different orm.xml's for each database platform...

Would it make sense to have the ConnectionIdentifier play a role? (Including DefaultConnectionIdentifier.)

[Lift] Re: Database Default for MappedDateTime
Arguably, the primary key is a special case of my problem. I have an object. I populate some fields. Upon persistence, some fields (like the primary key) is populated. In my particular example, the field is populated due to a Default rule, but it could just as well be a Trigger. Fortunately, JDBC does provide a mechanism to provide the PK ID upon an insert (if you use it, and your JDBC driver and Database server supports it). This mechanism avoids a subsequent select after an insert.

I recently migrated from 1.1-M8 to 2.0-M1. In 1.1-M8, I would get the
remote user. In 2.0-M1, I am getting UNKNOWN_USER.
What changed between 1.1-M8 and 2.0-M1 to break this?
How can this code be changed to work as I expected?
Thanks.

[Lift] Excessive select DISTINCT
I enabled SQL logging recently, and started looking at the generated SQL from Mapper. I was surprised to see that select DISTINCT was generally being done for queries when it is not necessary. Is that really necessary? For example: Team.findAll(OrderBy(Team.name, Ascending)) translated to: SELECT DISTINCT team.code, team.name, team.id FROM team ORDER BY name ASC Queries should perform better without a redundant DISTINCT operation. I must say that I am surprised to see the DISTINCT added when a Distinct object/class exists -- I would have expected that I would have needed to use the Distinct object/class in order to generate the DISTINCT keyword. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

[Lift] Schemifier broken for Oracle
I'm pretty sure that I discovered that a bug was introduced that breaks Schemifier with Oracle... First of all, Oracle's JDBC driver has the odd behavior of being case sensitive when it comes to acquiring metadata. For example: DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(null, MYSCHEMA, MYTABLE, null) is not the same as DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(null, MYSCHEMA, myTable, null)... In fact, the latter option yields no results... Well, looking at 1.0 Schemifier source, see line 189: http://scala-tools.org/scaladocs/liftweb/1.0/net/liftweb/mapper/Schemifier.scala.htm You can see that it used: table.dbTableName If you look at the latest source, see line 193: http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/blob/master/framework/lift-persistence/lift-mapper/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/mapper/Schemifier.scala#L193 You can see that it uses: table._dbTableNameLC This change broke ensureColumns for Oracle. As a side note -- there was no useful error message explaining that no column metadata was found for table X. This took a while to trace. I must admit that I am surprised by Oracle's behavior. Since the database isn't case sensitive, the table name parameter should not be case sensitive -- but it certainly is by my testing (and I am using 11g). Why was the code changed to specify a lower case value? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

[Lift] TextileParser
Playing around with the TextileParser code, I am using paraFixer. I noticed that bbold/b yields bold HTML. Similarly, emitalic/em yields italic HTML. But strongbold/strong does NOT yield bold HTML...

See: http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/blob/master/framework/lift-modules/lift-textile/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/textile/TextileParser.scala#L530 How complete is the Textile support? Is there a wiki page that describes what is supported? The closest thing I could find was wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_(markup_language) I am interested in some basic wiki-markup to HTML translation, like *bold* and _italic_, but not the more advanced stuff like embedded images or links to other pages. For security reasons, I am interested in a layer that escapes offending HTML like script or img or something that could be dangerous.

[Lift] Re: **IMPORTANT** Lift 2.0 Milestone1 is coming and it's time to test the SNAPSHOT in master
2. We are still on Scala 2.7.7.

That said, Heiko maintains Lift's port on Scala 2.8.0 280_port actively. But that's not yet ready - you have been warned :) Since Lift is sensitive to the Scala version, have you considered using a classifier to separate 2.7.7 compatible artifacts from 2.8.0 compatible artifacts? (This presumes that 2.0 will be released for 2.7.x as well as 2.8.x (eventually). Or will Lift support only ONE Scala version?

[Lift] Template help
I need to create a snippet sequence that looks something like this: a href=next span class=namename/span span class=commentdescription/span span class=arrow/ /a The anchor needs to be generated using SHtml.link, and name description need to be bound. As a result, I end up with a template sequence like this: b1:link span class=nameb2:name//span span class=commentb2:description//span span class=arrow/ /b1:link Then, I need snippet code that does something like: bind(b1, xhtml, link - SHtml.link(S.contextPath, () = clicked(b), bind(b2, chooseTemplate(b1, link, xhtml), name - Text(b.name), description - Text(b.description) )) Yuk... I'm just not happy with this. Sure, I could make it a little more readable, but this still seems unnecessarily complex and verbose. I also really don't like how the view logic is dictating my binding logic. In other words, if I wanted to change my view organization, there is a high chance that I also need to change my binding logic -- and that just isn't right...

[Lift] Re: Template help
OK, your suggestion definitely makes the snippet code more readable, but I fear I didn't make my point clear because the snippet code still is highly coupled with the view layout. Imagine that I want to change my view from this: a href=next span class=namename/span span class=commentdescription/span span class=arrow/ /a to this: span class=namename/span span class=commentdescription/span a href=next span class=arrow/ /a This would mean that I need to change my template from: b1:link span class=nameb2:name//span span class=commentb2:description//span span class=arrow/ /b1:link to this: span class=nameb:name//span span class=commentb:description//span b:link span class=arrow/ /b:link And then I need to update my code from: bind(b1, xhtml, link - kids = SHtml.link(next, () = clicked(b), bind(b2, kids, name - b.name.is, description - b.description.is ))) to something like this: bind(b, xhtml, name - b.name.is, description - b.description.is, link - kids = SHtml.link(next, () = clicked(b)) ))) My complaint is that reorganizing the view is tending to require code changes at the snippet level. And that just doesn't seem right to me. At first, I thought that I could leverage the recursive nature of snippets. In other words, I thought I could avoid the b1 and b2 binding keys and simply use b, then when the first round contained more b variables to bind, it would recurse. Alas, this didn't work (I'm sorry, but I don't recall the error message). But this was what I was thinking: b:link span class=nameb:name//span span class=commentb:description//span span class=arrow/ /b:link or this: span class=nameb:name//span span class=commentb:description//span b:link span class=arrow/ /b:link and the code would remain this: bind(b, xhtml, name - b.name.is, description - b.description.is, link - kids = SHtml.link(next, () = clicked(b)) ))) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

[Lift] javax.mail 1.4.3-SNAPSHOT
I upgraded to 1.1-M7 and was surprised to see that javax.mail-1.4.3- SNAPSHOT is now appearing as a dependency. Generally speaking, we don't want SNAPSHOT dependencies because they aren't re-creatable, but somehow, it sneaked into the Java.Net Maven 2 Repository: http://download.java.net/maven/2/javax/mail/mail/ It is being pulled in because the lift pom here: http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/net/liftweb/lift/1.1-M7/lift-1.1-M7.pom declares the dependency: dependency groupIdjavax.mail/groupId artifactIdmail/artifactId version[1.4,1.5)/version /dependency Normally, the above should be fine. Alas, I think the underlying problem is really Java.Net's Maven 2 Repository -- the SNAPSHOT build should not have made it to the repository... BTW... I noticed that the javax.activation dependency is explicitly declared: dependency groupIdjavax.activation/groupId artifactIdactivation/artifactId version[1.1,1.2)/version /dependency but it should be a transitive dependency of javax,mail (so this could be removed).

[Lift] camelCase to snake_case
I am using Lift-Mapper with Oracle. Oracle is a case-insensitive database. For Hibernate projects, I have used the Enhanced Naming Convention to translate Java camelCase to a more Oracle friendly snake_case. I am interested in doing the same thing with Lift Mapper/ Record. In the mean time, I need to override dbTableName and dbColumnName, but I'd like to avoid that and just agree on the convention. I could imagine that the Database Provider would maintain a flag to say whether the database is case sensitive or not, and then based on that flag, would pass either the camelCase directly (for case sensitive), or snake_case(camelCase) (for case insensitive).

[Lift] Re: Proposal : Lift ticketing system
I don't mean to be negative, but are other options being considered besides a ticketing system? I kind of wonder if the effort is worth it when excellent alternatives exist (like JIRA -- their Git integration may interest you: https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/4984 -- I have used their Subversion integration and was very pleased). I would be far more interested in seeing something done for the benefit of the Lift Web Site. (Is it written with Lift?) I don't see a Lift CMS -- and that is something that could evolve well over time. I think it is important for a web framework to use their own stuff, and it should be indicative of the cool things that it can do, stability, scale, and performance... (I am amazed that I have seen rather poor demonstrations of this, specifically by Adobe and JBoss -- but again, I'm not trying to be negative...) I see the Lift site integrating Google Analytics... Is that something that could be out of the box with Lift? That could be a selling point to people making external web sites. Another area that would be neat to develop is instrumentation. Sort of the JMX-Console equivalent for Lift. For scalability and sizing analysis, this would be really useful. Having said that, one major feature that I feel is missing from github is the lack of attachments for an issue.

[Lift] Re: Are we willing to make a breaking change for Joda Time?
That's pretty much my take. The whole Java Calendar/Date/Timezone impl is poorly designed, hence Joda Time. I like Joda Time too, and used to be apprehensive about integrating it as a dependency into my projects -- at least for simple things that I could probably do with Date/Calendar, just more hassle... But I am less apprehensive now that I know that Stephen Colebourne from Joda- Time is developing JSR-310 (https://jsr-310.dev.java.net/) -- a new Date and Time API for Java 7. If you look at the API, the new javax.time is basically stealing (I mean integrating) all of the best parts of Joda-Time. Now, I am happily using org.joda.time.LocalDate because I know that eventually, I will just need to change my imports to upgrade to javax.time.calendar.LocalDate. I haven't had a close look at Scala-Time, but I am not sure if I understand the value when using straight Joda Time with Scala was so painless. But I am sure there is room to leverage Scala features for things like implicit conversions. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

[Lift] Security Explained
My company is looking for an explanation of how Lift is secure. I recall reading a comment saying that Lift deals well with most of the Top 10 OWASP vulnerabilities (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/ Top_10_2007), but how? Most, not all? Are there strategies that are recommended to deal with the weaknesses? I am very interested in a Wiki post that explains how Lift addresses the top 10 vulnerabilities. (No pressure, but I needed this yesterday.) Please point me to any existing resource/documentation that explains this. Very often, I see points that mention how secure Lift is, and I certainly appreciate the fact that Lift promotes security as a core initiative. I can also see how secure it is compared to other strategies (yeah, you heard me ColdFusion!). Keep up the good work.

[Lift] SLF4J Logging for my classes
I am using SLF4J logging, but I am not sure if I am doing it the
right way...
I have pointed Lift to use SLF4J, and I call the enable routine and
have updated dependencies. All of that seems fine.
My question is around, how do my classes best use it... For example,
I am generally doing something like:
import org.slf4j.{Logger, LoggerFactory}
class Foo {
private val LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass)
...
}
Is this what one would expect? Or is there a Lift Way that
obsoletes the above?
